The House That Jack Built (b&w) Epic (color) A Touch of Brimstone (b&w) Ow, that hurt . . . Of course, Steed is barely in the first two. I really ought to redress that imbalance by adding a fourth fave: The Winged Avenger (color) A terrific Batman parody, which showed in the US the year after the Adam West Batman TV show appeared on the tube, so I'm sure the ribbing was deliberate. EEEEE-URRRPPPP! (spelling approximate) And I like the color Rigg episodes opening better than the b&w Rigg episodes opening (have you ever seen the checkerboard part, which was shot for US release?), and I like that better than either of the Tara King openings. (There were two; the one you link to is the second.) |

I liked Emma Peel but preferred Tara King. Emma was a bit too smug for my liking :p
|
Smug? Well, naturally!
She had a lot to be smug about. Please remember, you're talking about the woman I have loved above all others for more than 40 years! when she brushed the hair out of her face with that worried look of hers, yowza, I wanted to leap into the scene and save the day! Still carry a picture of her in my wallet. Will be buried with it. Have to say, the wife doesn't seem amused.

yes, Emma was kinda perfect... but she got bored with the show
and the fact that the cameramen were getting more money than she was... the "star " of the show. wonder if Emmas cat suits were lycra ? maybe that show was the first appearance of lycra... lycra was to become the big thing in the 70s with disco hot gossip and all the dance clubs that were springing up everywhere ....the Pineapple Dance Studio for eg |

Back in the day, we had one TV in the house. It was Dad's, which meant we all watched what he watched after dinner. Fortunately there were alot of high quality British TV shows to watch such as The Avengers, Secret Agent (Danger Man), and The Saint (with Roger Moore). Need I mention Planet Patrol, Supercar, Stingray, The Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, UFO, and Space: 1999 ? I thank the good Lord I grew up at such a time ! I have to admit I had a big crush on Diana Rigg and her leather suit. But Linda Thorson was so, ehh, well rounded. If I woke up and found her next to me I surely wouldn't throw her out of my bed ! My favorite Avengers episode of course was Return of the Cybernauts (1967). The only episode to star the legendary Peter Cushing, God rest his soul...............................

The New Avengers
While this series certainly wasn't nearly as good as the original...man - did I love this theme song:
